Home Sweet Home

Communities give life and personality to the West Valley

By Carrie Snider and Taylor O’Connor

If you recently moved to the West Valley, allow us to welcome you to your new home! As you get settled in, we want to let you know that you have de nitely chosen an outstanding community to call home. Some of the fastest-growing communities in the country can be found in the West Valley — for good reasons.

For instance, the West Valley is lled with warm weather, fun activities, and plenty of opportunities for employment and retirement.

First, a bit of geography. e “Valley,” or Phoenix metro area, includes all of the cities from east to Downtown to west. When some people refer to “West Phoenix,” they may be talking about areas still quite close to Downtown. A clear distinction about the West Valley, however, is its core cities from east to west: Tolleson, Avondale, Glendale, Peoria, Litch eld Park, Goodyear and Buckeye.

While each of those seven cities is distinct in its own way, collectively they are very close. ankfully, there are freeways to help you get around quickly, including I-10, the Loop 101 and the Loop 303. e Loop 202 is the newest completed addition to our freeway

system, and it o ers another option when you’re heading to the East Valley.

Here’s a bit more info to get you familiar with the di erent areas of the West Valley:

• Tolleson is immediately west of the Phoenix city limits and south of I-10. It was incorporated in 1929 and is named for founder W.G. Tolleson. Its population is about 7,000 people. Tolleson’s top employers include JBS Packerland, Americold, PepsiCo, Rousseau Farming Company, Fry’s Food and Drug, and Sysco Food Systems.

• Avondale is west of Tolleson and extends north and south of I-10.

e area was originally known as Coldwater but was changed to Avondale a er the Avondale Ranch. e city was incorporated in 1946 and has a population of about 90,000. While there are still cotton and alfalfa elds, much of the area is now populated with homes and shopping. Avondale is home to e Vitamin Shoppe headquarters, SanMar, Copper Springs Hospital, Legacy Senior Living and Copper State Rubber.

• Goodyear is west of Avondale and is named for the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co., which owned many cotton elds there to use in its tires. It was incorporated in 1946 and has about 80,000 people. Goodyear is home to the Goodyear Ballpark, where the Cleveland Guardians and Cincinnati Reds have Spring Training. Some of the main employers include Amazon Ful llment Center and the Arizona State Prison-Perryville. Goodyear has recently landed a host of new jobs, with the location of Ball manufacturing, Chewy and UPS ful llment centers, along with Microso data centers.

• Litch eld Park, located north of Goodyear and Avondale, was founded by Goodyear Tire executive Paul W. Litch eld in 1926. He purchased thousands of acres of cotton for the tire company. e Wigwam was started

as a retreat for executives visiting the area and evolved into the resort it is today. e city, which has about 7,000 residents, is home to several historic churches, homes, schools and a train station. Plus, it resides right next to Luke Air Force Base.

• Incorporated in 1929, Buckeye was named a er the Buckeye State, the home state of the Buckeye canal’s founder. Because the city was located by the canal, the name stuck. It is home to over 101,000 people, though as one of the nation’s fastest-growing cities, with hundreds of square acres of land, Buckeye and its population will likely grow quickly. Buckeye is known for its rural areas, historic downtown, and its proximity to outdoor recreation such as Skyline Regional Park.

• Glendale is 30 minutes from Phoenix, two hours south of Sedona, and a ve-hour drive from Los Angeles. Glendale is home to Luke Air Force Base, State Farm Stadium and Westgate Entertainment District and has its historic downtown area. Founded in the late 1800s, the city has a current population of about 250,000. With more entertainment facilities and restaurants moving to the area, the population grows with it, too.

• Peoria is named a er former Union Army o cer William J. Murphy, who worked as head of construction on the Arizona Canal. Upon the canal’s completion in 1885, Murphy returned to his home of Peoria, Illinois, to recruit families to move out West; and by 1897 the settlement was named a er the Illinois town. Now, its population is around 195,000 and o ers a variety of activities to do with Spring Training facilities, 60 miles of hiking trails, and the P83 Entertainment District.

As you can see, these cities still have a lot to o er. Make yourself at home! While the area is growing more populated every day, the mixture of longtime residents and new transplants make for a melting pot of cultures and people who are looking to enjoy life here.

Welcome to Buckeye

The far-west city is a wealth of alfalfa, birds and

By Buckeye Valley Chamber of Commerce

Buckeye was founded in 1888 and incorporated in 1929 as a 400-acre town. The city now sits on 600 square miles, making it, geographically, Arizona’s largest city. The cotton, alfalfa and maize fields are still here, interspersed with housing developments and booming businesses.

Buckeye is the country’s fastestgrowing city, according to 2015 U.S. Census Bureau data.

Located just 35 miles west of Phoenix, Buckeye is convenient to work, sightseeing and an exciting nightlife, yet far enough away to retain a comfortable small-town feeling.

Residents can take advantage of offerings found in a metropolitan city and then return to the quiet comforts of home.

Population figures reflect the tremendous growth the city is experiencing. The special census recorded Buckeye’s population as 83,000 residents. These folks are hugely invested in this community and strive to make it the most ideal place to live, work, and raise a family.

The growth is not just in residential development.

Sundance Towne Center, Sundance Crossing and the Market on Broadway are home to a number of small retail businesses and restaurants, as well as large, national retailers, banks and restaurant chains and retail outlets.

The southwest corner of Dean and Yuma roads is home to the justice court, Buckeye Police and Fire departments, and the Coyote Branch Library.

Educational opportunities include the West-MEC campus, the ASU Entrepreneur Innovation Center and the Grand Canyon University bachelor’s degree program. Estrella Mountain Community College Buckeye Educational Center offers classes in what used to be the original Buckeye Union High School.

Every day, more than 75,000 cars

travel through Buckeye on Interstate 10, making the frontage roads an ideal location for a marketing and/or billboard signage opportunities.

The city’s unique partnership with the State Department of Water Resources and Developers determined the ample water supply in the Hassayampa River Basin west of the White Tank Mountains can provide our growing city with water in the future. The Hassayampa River Basin is the largest untapped aquifer in Arizona.

HISTORIC MAIN STREET

Formerly old U.S. Highway 80, Monroe Avenue is Buckeye’s Historic Main Street. A stretch of the original roadbed is still in use where Monroe Avenue dead-ends into Apache. Old U.S. Highway 80 was originally called the Dixie Overland Highway or the Broadway of America. Before 1926, developers and towns scrambled to be on a coast-to-coast route. The Dixie Overland Highway was the first all-year, coast-to-coast roadway. Because many of these highways shared the same roadbed through parts of the country, people became confused by the colorful names given.

In 1926, the federal government stepped in and replaced it with a numerical system. Old U.S. Highway 80 started at Tybee Island, Georgia, and crossed the country, entering Arizona near Douglas, continuing through Tucson, Phoenix and Buckeye, south to Gila Bend, and exited the state in Yuma. Its western terminus was San Diego.

EDUCATION

Arizona is a right-to-choose state for education. Parents can choose from a wide variety of school options, including public, charter, private, online or home education. Expanding school choice is the single best strategy for improving education for all children, and the state of Arizona proudly supports this initiative.

The city of Buckeye is no exception.

ENVIRONMENT

In spite of the heat and rain, the Sonoran Desert is one of the most diverse ecosystems in North America. Among the wildlife living in the Sonoran Desert are mountain lions, bobcats, javelina, mule deer, coyotes, ring-tailed cats and even bighorn sheep.

A wide variety of desert plants ranging from mesquite and Palo Verde trees to brittlebrush and, of course, the mighty saguaro, happily call the desert home. Cactus and creosote flourish, along with a wide array of wildflowers making their annual debut in early spring and again occasionally after the beginning the monsoon.

The diversity and quantity of birds migrating through make bird watching one of the most popular activities. In Buckeye, you may see them at Robbin’s Butte Wildlife Area, and White Tank Mountains and Skyline regional parks.

WEATHER

Living in the surroundings dominated by a desert climate is an adjustment for many new residents. Buckeye sits in a microclimate somewhat different than Phoenix, with less rain than the Phoenix average, higher summer temperatures, cooler winter nights and more days of sunshine.

Average spring temperatures range from 48 to 72 F and summer temperatures range from 65 to 108 F. Annual precipitation is 7.6 inches, and the average is 36.4 days with precipitation. The annual sunshine average is 325 days. The monsoon season, which occurs between midJune and mid-September, brings powerful rain and dust storms. Humidity ranges from a record low of 2% to as high as 78%, with the annual average at 50% in the mornings and 23% in the afternoons. July and August are the months of highest afternoon humidity due to monsoon.

Welcome to Peoria

The community is continuing to build a vibrant city in the Northwest Valley

By Rhonda Carlson Peoria Chamber of Commerce President and CEO

With a rich history dating back to 1919, the Peoria Chamber of Commerce has not just served as an advocate and voice for the Peoria business community; it has consistently identified opportunities to be more and do more for all that call Peoria home.

In fact, the Peoria Chamber originally provided all of the core services we are accustomed to today (power, water, sewer, fire and telephone services) until the city of Peoria was officially incorporated in 1954.

Through the years, businesses of all sizes and varieties have sought the chamber as a vital resource to support their growth; better connect to other businesses, residents and visitors; and engage in efforts that promote a probusiness environment.

Residents have sought living in Peoria for the excellent schools, beautiful landscape and overall quality of life. But as someone driven to help make my community a better place, I know there is always more that can be done.

As a Peoria resident, I am privileged to serve in a capacity that allows me to build vital relationships with city and business leaders, those supporting the growth and development of our children, those who keep us safe and those who strive to make Peoria a true gem of the West Valley.

It is only through effective collaboration and a shared sense of purpose that incredible results can happen, and we have seen that over the years in how Peoria looks and perhaps more significantly feels to be here. From the vibrant P83 District — with no shortage of exceptional restaurants, retail and entertainment options — to

the tremendous beauty and abundant outdoor activities at Lake Pleasant and rich culture and history of Old Town, Peoria is positioned to have just about everything you could be looking for in a community. And with the development of the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company’s production factory at our outskirts (the world’s largest maker of advanced computer chips), new Frito-Lay distribution facility (the world’s largest maker of potato chips), and continued growth of our small-business community, the economic outlook from chip to chip and everything in between is beyond promising.

To best support a thriving business community, the Peoria Chamber focuses on the importance of connection and collaboration to make a greater impact. At the core of its efforts are the promotion and advocacy of its members, resources to support personal and professional growth, and networking opportunities that create an environment where business connections transform into friendships as mutual support of one another is recognized as key to the city’s shared success.

To implement solutions that help tackle important needs within the community, the chamber utilizes its engaged membership and strong partnership with the city of Peoria in the form of its chamber committees: Education & Workforce Development: Serves as a bridge between the business and education community to develop opportunities that help prepare students to enter the workforce post-graduation and provide an outlet for businesses to promote their services to help attract talent.

Government Affairs: Tracks legislation that will impact businesses; acts as a coalition to serve the interests

of the business community; and fosters communication between the Peoria Chamber of Commerce, the city of Peoria and the state Legislature to elicit positive changes that will promote a pro-business environment.

Military Affairs: Recognizes the importance of providing opportunities that serve and support active-duty military, veterans and their families and focuses its efforts on programs and events that provide advocacy, outreach and mentorship to veterans transitioning into the workforce, veteran-owned businesses and other veteran needs in the community.

Women 4 Women: Provides professional development, networking, mentoring and educational opportunities that aid in the growth and success of women entrepreneurs, business owners and professionals in our business community.

Young Professionals Group: Aims to support individuals early in their careers with educational, social, volunteer and networking opportunities to further their career development and better connect to their local business community.

So, if your future finds you seeking a safe city with rich amenities, growing business landscape and a quality lifestyle, Peoria is the place!

Schools & Youth Quality Education

Strong schools are the key to strong communities

By Shelly Hornback

uality schools are key to thriving families and communities. Strong schools protect property values, prevent crime, and enhance the quality of life for residents of all ages. Of course, they also partner with parents and caregivers to provide students the academics and life skills required to become tomorrow’s leaders.

The Southwest Valley is America’s fastest-growing region and home to some of the best schools in the state. Time and time again, new residents report strong schools as a major factor in their decision to relocate to this area. The annual resident survey in Buckeye’s upscale Verrado community, for example, consistently reports that its A-rated neighborhood schools are among the top three reasons residents are flocking to the fastest-growing city in the country.

The importance of strong

schools and their invaluable impact on families and communities cannot be overstated. Here in the Southwest Valley, families have dozens of high-quality educational options. The Southwest Valley is home to some of Arizona’s leading district schools, as well as many private and charter schools. Among the local schools are several A-rated elementary and high schools, Estrella Mountain Community College, vocational training at West-MEC, and a handful of universities within driving distance.

Quality schools offer tours that boast clean and friendly campuses with a strong history of academic success and community support. They welcome visitors, adhere to strict safety procedures, pay attention to children, and genuinely enjoy the opportunity to showcase a happy place. Students are best served by enthusiastic principals who truly care about their staff and students, certified

teachers who exude passion for their work, support staff that are a valued part of the school family, and engaged families that prioritize education.

Community support is a crucial part of educational excellence. There are countless ways to support neighborhood schools to ensure their value in the community. The best schools have community partners who volunteer, donate and vote. New residents can register to vote or change their address at servicearizona.com.

The internet offers convenient access to websites and social media platforms where families can research their child’s educational options. Keep in mind that many sites with subjective reviews have created their own rating systems that may not align with official educational standards. Families can rely on the Arizona Department of Education website (azed.gov) for accurate and timely data, including the current school report cards.

Imagine Schools offers new approach to learning

By Imagine Schools

One of the best things about Arizona is parents have the option to send their children to charter schools, regardless of economic status.

Students can attend any charter school in Arizona without paying tuition, which means access to great principals and teachers isn’t just limited to families at the highest levels of income.

All children can attend the school that is most suitable to their educational needs.

There are lots of different kinds of charter schools in the West Valley, but one group of charter schools stands out. Imagine Schools is a national, nonprofit family of public charter schools that works to prepare its students for lives of leadership, accomplishment and exemplary character.

In fact, there is actually a character element written into its curriculum, so children learn from an early age the importance of giving back to their community.

These schools may have high expectations for academic success, but they also acknowledge not every child learns the same way. Imagine Schools’

rigorous academic curriculum is designed for each student to learn at the pace that is best suited for them. It believes all children are capable of success — no exceptions — and each area of learning is also full of activities that engage the whole child to make learning fun.

Another unique aspect of Imagine Schools is that its schools are fully shaped by the community they serve.

Imagine Avondale’s principal, Javier Bravo, enthusiastically shared that being an Avondale Bear reaches all the way into the core of who they are as a school.

Bears are loving and warm, but also fierce in their determination.

Bravo said he believes the students of Imagine Avondale are like that, too. He will proudly tell you about his school’s international awardwinning robotics team. This year, Imagine Avondale hosted two robotics tournaments where other schools could enjoy friendly

competition and show off their robots and skills. At Imagine Avondale, they are fierce.

Imagine Buckeye Principal Shane Boettcher is more of a larger-thanlife character. He helped establish Imagine Buckeye in the fall of 2021 and, since then, it has become one of the most in-demand schools in the area. Its caring staff and commitment to learning is second to none. There is always something fun going on at Imagine Buckeye.

Visiting these schools feels very different. The hallways feel like they are vibrating with vitality. The children are orderly but smiling.

The kids light up when they see the principals walk through the hallways. They smile. They wave. They call out their principal’s name, like they aren’t just calling out to an authoritarian, but to a respected friend they are excited to see.

After visiting these schools, it is little wonder that Imagine Schools is such a beloved institution by the families they serve. Visiting an Imagine School is like visiting the true heart of the community. Future leaders of Arizona are being created within the Imagine Schools’ walls, already imagining a better future.

Buckeye Elementary district embraces community

By Buckeye Elementary School District

Serving the Buckeye community since 1889, the Buckeye Elementary School District has established itself as the district of choice for parents seeking a worldclass educational experience for their children.

The district is passionate about student success. The staff works tirelessly to ensure every student experiences positive relationships, a safe and nurturing environment, and academic success that creates a sense of pride and infinite possibility.

Teachers and staff ensure that students understand what we know to be true, that there is nothing they cannot accomplish.

At BESD, community members, parents, students and staff form a powerful and interconnected partnership focused on positive outcomes, and these stakeholders share in the effort of the work and

the pride that comes with achievement in all forms.

The district is a team united in one goal: student success. With a singular voice, it affirms what the state has recently declared: BESD is officially a “highly performing” district.

Community members are proud to know that they are sending their children to schools identified as either “excellent” or “highly performing” by the Arizona Department of Education. To us it is simple — “Learning is required” — and we hold ourselves accountable for ensuring that this is more than a slogan. Every grade. Every school. No excuses.

But achievement is only part of the formula for BESD’s success. BESD has a long-standing reputation of being like a family for staff and students, and it is critical that learners feel connected and cared for.

The staff encourages the

community to visit one of its nine sites to see for themselves. Those connections are real, meaningful and visible.

The public is invited to connect with the district by visiting its website at besd33.org for the contact information of the nearest BESD campus or the central office. Its staff looks forward to talking to the community and, most importantly, is eager to welcome them to its Buckeye family.

OUAZ’s new award has substantial impact

By Ottawa University Arizona

Ottawa University Arizona (OUAZ) is now offering Phoenix West Valley 2023 high school graduates a significant financial aid award that can be applied to tuition, fees, a meal plan and more. The award is designed to assist West Valley families in accessing a quality, private education experience in Surprise.

Dr. Dennis Tyner, president of OUAZ, emphasized the necessity and potential impact of the new award.

“The West Valley is rapidly growing,” he said. “Corporations, local businesses, K-12 schools, health care systems and hospitals, and other entities need our graduates.”

Students must be fully accepted to the university to be eligible for the $19,400 award. After the award is applied, students will pay just $17,000 per year for tuition, fees, a meal plan

and more. The award is applied each year if the student maintains eligibility requirements.

Ultimately, this award is a way to give back to the community, Tyner added.

“We see ourselves as the West Valley’s university,” he said.

The campus continues to expand and will soon include an additional residence hall slated to open in fall 2023.

“When we started in 2017, we partnered with many organizations,

including local high schools, to assist us in our facility needs. We now have outstanding facilities available as we see continued growth in our enrollment,” Tyner said.

Students can apply the new financial aid award to any major. OUAZ also offers a unique FLEXTERM Advantage schedule, which allows students to take classes in four-, eight- and 16-week formats. For example, a student may take one course in the four-week format, two or three courses in the eight-week format, and be considered a full-time student. This could allow students to more easily participate in internships, go on mission trips or work part time.

These resources can help your teen do adolescence well

By Larry Tracey

The West Valley is home to three community coalitions that help parents and grandparents raise healthy youth. They have great free resources to help families raise resilient drug-free youth through community prevention coalitions that educate and create awareness.

These easy-to-find resources will help you increase youth protective factors, reduce risk factors and help keep youth drug and alcohol free. They provide speakers on multiple topics to schools, community groups and business organizations.

They also offer education and awareness on numerous topics, including current teen drug trends; teen brain development; vaping and marijuana concentrates; the new drug dealer, social media; and the killer among us, fentanyl. For example, fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that is 50 times stronger than heroin and 100

times stronger than morphine.

More than 100,000 overdose deaths happen each year nationally. It is often added to other drugs because of its extreme potency, making drugs cheaper, more powerful and more addictive.

Way Out West (WOW) Coalition, wayoutwestcoalition. org, is found in Buckeye and surrounding areas.

The 3PC (Peoria Primary Prevention Coalition) is in Peoria, 3pcoalition.org. Meanwhile, Rise Up Glendale Coalition is in Glendale, riseupglendale.org.

Each is a community organization with a mission to prevent substance use in youth and young adults. Scan the QR code on the next page to easily access the website and resources.

Each coalition has a monthly meeting to collaborate and share resources to help our communities. They have many resources you can use to help have those conversations with your family to Get in the Way of youth substance use. Visit the resource pages for more information or follow on social media. All three coalitions partner with area schools and the National Guard Drug Demand Reduction Outreach team.

Sequoia Pathfinder helps children thrive

By Sequoia Pathfinder Academy

Rising up like a mighty squadron of F-35s, students at Sequoia Pathfinder Academy at Verrado Way and I-10 excel in academics, arts and athletics.

The Jets on its secondary campus and the Panthers across the parking lot on the elementary campus love to learn in a safe, secure and nurturing environment where every student is known and appreciated.

With 12th grade starting in the fall, Pathfinder is now a place where the whole family of K-12 learners can receive the very best education to prepare for a fulfilling future of success and happiness, all at the same location.

Small class sizes, highly qualified and certified teachers, with stateof-the-art buildings and equipment attract many families to Pathfinder. But there is so much more. Sequoia’s growing menu of student-friendly

classes, programs, activities and recognition help students and their families know and feel they belong to a great school.

Based in science, technology, engineering, art and math (STEAM), the core curriculum is enriched with classes in economics, film study, financial literacy, music, physical education, photojournalism, public speaking and sociology.

Students can choose from a variety of programs and activities including AVID, dances, field trips, food carts, pep rallies, STEAM nights and student council.

Students can also choose to earn recognition in many ways, including the perfect attendance award, principal’s honor roll (90%), honor roll (80%), “AIMS High Jets Award” (focusing on leadership, service, compliance, participation and respect), AVID Award and STEAM Award.

Health Care

Medical Services When You Need It

Hospitals, cancer centers and urgent cares are all in the West Valley

By Carrie Snider

One of the best things about living in the West Valley is that it has all of the services and amenities that you normally find in a major metropolis. For example, because the West Valley is so close to Phoenix, it is home to a wide number of outstanding medical facilities. From urgent cares and hospitals to specialists and more, you do not have to make a long drive to get top-notch medical care.

HOSPITAL/ER

Abrazo West Campus, located at 13677 W. McDowell Road in Goodyear, opened in 2003 as a small community hospital but has expanded as the area has grown. Now it boasts a Level-1 Trauma Center, as well as orthopedics, interventional cardiology, stroke and vascular care, women’s health, roboticassisted surgery, spine surgery and obstetrics care.

Abrazo Arrowhead Hospital has been serving Glendale and the Northwest Valley for over 30 years and is known for its surgical services, cardiovascular care and women’s care. The facility has been named Best Hospital by U.S. News & World Report for its work in five adult procedures and conditions: abdominal aortic aneurysm repair, congestive heart failure, colon cancer surgery, COPD and hip replacement. The hospital is located at 18701 N. 67th Avenue, Glendale. Call (623) 561-1000 or visit abrazohealth.com for more information.

An additional option for emergency services is Arizona General Hospital,

251 N. Estrella Parkway in Goodyear. It’s open 24 hours and offers the same services as other emergency rooms, but for inpatient services, those patients would be transferred to a different location. Visitors here can utilize emergency medicine and digital imaging, including CT scanning, X-ray and ultrasound.

URGENT CARE

For less-serious emergencies, there are many urgent care centers in Buckeye, Goodyear, Litchfield Park, Avondale, Glendale, Peoria and Tolleson. Banner, Alliance and FastMed urgent cares have multiple locations, among other urgent care facilities. As a newcomer, take note of the nearest ones to you so you can be prepared.

Another option is Phoenix Children’s Urgent Care, which offers after-hours pediatric doctor availability. The one in the West Valley is called Southwest Valley Urgent Care and is located at 1665 N. Avondale Boulevard, Avondale.

See any facility’s website to find more information about setting an appointment and the amount of time it will take for test results.

FAMILY MEDICINE/SPECIALISTS

It would be hard to list all of the family doctors and specialists in the West Valley. From primary care doctors and pediatricians to gastroenterologists and physical therapists, many in the medical community are ready to assist. How do you choose? Ask your neighbors and friends, check out reviews online, and double-check preferred options

through your health insurance for ideas.

CANCER TREATMENT

Cancer is an unfortunate reality, but thankfully there is a treatment center in the West Valley to help. Cancer Treatment Centers of America Phoenix’s comprehensive cancer treatment hospital is located 14200 W. Celebrate Life Way in Goodyear. There, multidisciplinary cancer experts coordinate treatments and provide comprehensive cancer treatment tailored to the patient.

NATUROPATHIC MEDICINE

Sometimes there are things going on in the body not showing up on tests but still hampering everyday life. Some people choose to take a more holistic approach to heal the body. There are several naturopathic clinics in the West Valley that can help.

Elixir Alternative Medicine, 9210 W. Peoria Avenue, Unit 4, Peoria, offers routes for any health issues, both acute and chronic. Call (623) 755-7700 or visit elixiralternativemedicine.com.

West Valley Naturopathic Center, 1646 N. Litchfield Road, Suite 200, Goodyear, specializes in helping patients with thyroid function, weight loss, food sensitivity testing, hormones, IV therapy and more. Visit wvncaz.com or call (623) 643-9598 to learn more.

Allure Natural Health and Wellness, 14535 W. Indian School Road, Suite 160, Goodyear, offers acupuncture, cupping, trigger point injections and regenerative services.

Call (623) 232-8052 or visit desertreignmedspa.com to learn more.

Help is available for diabetic issues

By Comprehensive Integrated Care

More than 130 million adults in the U.S. are living with diabetes or prediabetes, according to the CDC.

Diabetes is a chronic condition that occurs when blood glucose or sugar is too high. The body breaks down food and turns it into glucose, which is released into the bloodstream. The sugar level in the blood goes up, which triggers the pancreas to release insulin. Insulin helps the glucose get into the cells, where it becomes energy. Diabetes occurs when the body cannot make enough insulin or isn’t able to use it properly, leaving too much sugar in the bloodstream.

This can damage tissues and bodily functions, like circulation to your legs and feet.

“Look at your feet every day; really look at them,” said Dr. Shah Askari of CiC Foot & Ankle. “If you notice

any sores, changes in skin color or temperature, let your doctor know. It’s also very important to move; even walking can make a difference.”

But there are obstacles to exercising when you have diabetes. “I know if your feet hurt, you can’t walk,” Askari said.

Dr. Joel Rainwater, CiC’s chief medical officer who treats poor circulation in the legs, agreed.

“Exercise is fundamental to overall health. Walking is a wonderful tool for cardiovascular fitness, but you can’t walk if you don’t have good circulation.” Poor circulation or PAD (peripheral artery disease) is a condition where blood flow to the legs and feet is diminished.

Diabetes can contribute to poor circulation.

“High blood sugar and inflammation related to diabetes attacks your blood vessels and causes them to block with plaque. Fortunately, that is something that we can fix,” Rainwater said, noting

“almost no downtime, no stitches, no overnight hospital stays.”

Foot pain is also treatable. Heel pain, bunions, hammertoes, burning, tingling and cramping are common complaints.

These conditions respond well with proper care. “The good news is surgery is not always the answer,” Askari explained. “There are many new treatments to help.”

Rainwater added, “Many people with PAD cannot tolerate any type of exercise. This causes their other conditions get worse.”

Talking to a doctor can help break the cycle. Treatment can get you on track.

Rainwater is an interventional radiologist who uses imaging technology and techniques to treat conditions like PAD, enlarged prostates and liver cancer. He can be reached at (480) 374-7354.

Askari is a podiatrist who treats a wide range of foot problems. He can be reached at (602) 954-0777.

Help is available for chronic foot pain

By CiC Foot & Ankle

Chronic foot or ankle pain interferes with active lifestyles, limiting mobility and independence. It makes the most basic activities difficult, like going to the market or walking the dog.

“I hate to hear that foot pain is keeping someone from their everyday activities,” said Dr. Kerry Zang of CiC Foot & Ankle.

“It doesn’t matter if you are suffering from arthritis, an old injury, plantar fasciitis, really any type of foot pain, there are new therapies to help repair and restore tissue, ligaments and joints.”

Until recently, anti-inflammatory medication and steroid injections like cortisone offered the best chance for relief.

But these options just reduced the symptoms. They did nothing to treat the problem actually causing the pain.

“While cortisone stops the swelling and pain, it can also interfere with the healing process and further degeneration can occur,” Zang explained.

“Now, instead of just making the symptoms go away, we can deal with the underlying problem that is causing the pain. With regenerative medicine, we can help the body

initiate its own healing response.”

This form of treatment stimulates the body’s own natural healing process to repair chronically damaged tissue.

“If a degenerative process has started, sometimes the body needs a little boost to encourage the regenerative process.” Zang said. “Regenerative medicine does that.”

“Don’t wait to get help. Delaying care can put you at risk for further damage. However, if you have put off treatment, it’s not too late. Medicine is constantly changing, and you should never lose hope.”

Dr. Kerry Zang can be reached at CiC Foot & Ankle at (602) 954-0777.

MWU innovates Arizona health care education

By Tony Johns Midwestern University

Blood clots can affect anyone

By Dr. Rahul Malhotra, FACC, FSCAI Arizona Heart and Vascular Clinic

In 25 years of practice, I’ve seen firsthand the sometimes-tragic impact of undiagnosed blood clots. Mitigating your risk begins with understanding how clots can affect your body and when to seek medical attention.

A thrombosis is a clot that blocks the normal flow of blood through an artery or vein. Thromboses can occur anywhere. When they occur in a deep vein, such as the veins of the lower leg, hip or thigh, they are known as deep vein thromboses (DVTs).

Blood clots cause 274 deaths daily, and DVTs affect 800,000 Americans annually. Neither age nor gender offer protection: You can develop a

clot as easily at 25 as at 85. Most are the result of traumatic injury, surgical complication or hormone replacement therapy. Family history, smoking, pregnancy and some birth control medications also increase your risk.

Arterial clots can cause death to surrounding tissue and lead to heart attack, stroke or limb loss. DVTs can cause swelling and pain. Clots can be particularly dangerous when part of the clot breaks off and travels to the lung (causing a pulmonary embolism) or to the brain (causing a stroke). The resulting damage may lead to sudden death.

Watch for symptoms:

DVT

• Swelling, cramping pain or soreness

in leg muscles.

• Reddened skin, warm to the touch.

• DVTs can also occur without noticeable symptoms.

PULMONARY EMBOLISM

• Sudden shortness of breath.

• Chest pain that worsens when inhaling deeply or coughing.

• Lightheadedness, dizziness or fainting.

• Rapid pulse.

• Coughing up blood.

If you have any of those symptoms, seek medical attention immediately.  Regular cardiovascular screenings can identify blood clots at an early stage, allowing for timely intervention to avoid potentially serious outcomes. If it’s been a while since you had a heart checkup, I encourage you to make an appointment today.

Heel pain is a treatable condition

By Sahab Danesh, DPM

Heel pain is one of the most common problems patients can experience.

It usually starts as an “annoying” dull sensation in the heel that develops without any history of injury. It is commonly felt with the first few steps in the morning out of bed, after standing for prolonged periods of time, and when getting up after sitting for an extended amount of time. If not addressed, this condition can turn into a debilitating sharp pain to the bottom of the heel and/or arch area that can take an extended amount of time to resolve.

Podiatrists refer to heel pain as plantar fasciitis. The pain is due to inflammation of the plantar fascial fibers either at the insertion of the fascia into the heel bone or along the course of the fascia through the arch area. These fibers are a tape-like band

that helps hold the arch in place. When strained, it can lead to swelling and irritation, which then is the cause of the patient’s pain. Conservative treatment options such as prefabricated inserts, stretching exercises, well-supported shoes, ice and anti-inflammatories are firstline treatments that many patients

have tried prior to seeing a specialist. When these treatment modalities fail, more aggressive treatment options are indicated, which our podiatric practice can help address.

Heel pain is a treatable condition. The podiatrists at Arizona Foot & Ankle Specialists use their expertise in addressing the causes of the patient’s heel pain and thrive to resolve the patient’s symptoms as fast as possible. Its podiatrists will employ a unique patient-focused treatment protocol that is unique to each individual patient’s foot type and needs. We look forward to the opportunity of providing our patients with the utmost care to get you back on your feet pain free.

Enlarged prostates affect men, women

Dr. Michael Switzer

An enlarged prostate takes over people’s lifestyles. While men are scouting out restrooms when they arrive at a function, planning how far they drive without stopping, and waking up several times a night, their partner is right there with them… Getting up when the bathroom light turns on, waiting for them to return to the party, worrying if a car trip will be too long.

WHAT IS IT?

Enlarged prostate is the common name for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), which occurs when the prostate gland increases in size. As it gets larger, it presses against the urethra, making it difficult for men to empty their bladder completely.

Symptoms include weak, slow or interrupted urinary stream, frequency or urgency, difficulty starting or straining to urinate and getting up frequently at night to go to the bathroom.

The good news is that it’s not cancerous and does not raise the risk for prostate cancer. However, the same symptoms can be an indication of more serious conditions, including prostate cancer, so it’s important to be evaluated by a physician.

HOW IS IT TREATED?

First-line therapy starts with medication which can be very effective in reducing the symptoms, but there are potential side effects

like sexual dysfunction, fatigue and male breasts. But many men can’t tolerate the side effects, or the medication doesn’t adequately control the symptoms. Surgeries like TURP are also an option but come with serious risks factors.

WHAT’S NEWEST ADVANCEMENT IN TREATMENT?

PAE (prostate artery embolization) is an exciting breakthrough for treating BPH. It’s done through a tiny nick in the skin in the upper thigh. Small beads are deposited in the artery that supplies blood to the prostate. This reduces the blood flow to the prostate, which causes it to shrink.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN TO YOU?

PAE can reduce the size of the prostate up to 40%, which relieves pressure on the urethra and improves symptoms. There is less risk, reduced pain, no hospital visit and a shorter recovery time than traditional procedures. In many cases, patients begin to feel relief within a few weeks.

ARE YOU A CANDIDATE FOR PAE?

You may be a candidate for PAE if medication is not relieving your symptoms, you cannot tolerate the side effects of your medication or you are concerned about the risks of traditional surgery.

Dr. Michael Switzer is an interventional radiologist who uses imaging technology and techniques to care for medical conditions that affect the nearly every organ system in the body. These conditions include PAD, enlarged prostates, liver cancer and compression fractures. He can be reached at Comprehensive Integrate Care, (480) 374-7354.

5 situations that require an auto inspection

It’s important to have your vehicle regularly inspected to avoid unexpected breakdowns and fix small problems before they get out of hand. Here are five situations when an inspection is warranted.

Your vehicle’s warranty is expiring. If the warranty on your car is due to expire soon, it’s a good idea to bring it to a mechanic for an inspection. They’ll complete any necessary repair work while it’s still covered.

You’re planning a road trip. An unexpected breakdown can put a damper on your road trip. To avoid unpleasant surprises and enjoy your vacation, have your vehicle inspected and repaired in advance.

You’re shopping for a used car. Checking the mechanical condition of your future vehicle is a must. You’ll find out what type of condition it’s in and can negotiate a lower price if repairs are necessary. Your lease is coming to an end. You may have to pay a hefty bill if the dealership determines your vehicle doesn’t meet their repair standards. It’s a good idea to have your car inspected a few months before the end of your lease so you can correct any lingering problems. You’re selling your vehicle. If you sell someone a defective car, you could be held liable for any injuries they suffer as a result. It’s best to schedule a full inspection before you post your ad. This will allow you to make the necessary repairs, inform the buyer of any shortcomings and set the price accordingly.

U.S. Stoneworks takes old-world craftsmanship to new levels

By U.S. Stoneworks

Founded in Surprise in 2002, U.S. Stoneworks Inc. specializes in high-quality, old-world craftsmanship granite, quartz and marble countertops for kitchens and baths.

U.S. Stoneworks’ staff does commercial granite and marble work as well as monuments. Together, the hands-on owners, Rui and George, have more than 20 years of experience.

Setting them apart is their use of traditional methods of laying out each kitchen and bath countertop, ensuring the finished product looks just as the customer would like.

Many firms today rely on computers to layout their work. Although it maximizes the stone yield from each

slab, it often delivers mismatched gaining and patterns.

U.S. Stoneworks’ methods allow the patterns to match up as evenly as possible for a great-looking result that, hopefully, exceeds expectations.

One of the owners personally measures for the materials — twice if necessary — to ensure proper sizing. They also often take the customers to the stone yards to find the right stone for their cabinets or flooring.

U.S. Stoneworks has a stone

fabrication facility in Surprise. Because of this, they beat the prices of other firms and big-box stores.

For a free estimate, call (623) 570-7007.

“Through its 35-plus year history, Lodi Garage Doors & More has evolved into an industry- and community-leading organization with deep roots in the state of Arizona,” Strecker said. “Anchored by its values and commitment to customer satisfaction, Lodi Garage Doors & More is highly regarded as a first-class operation. This commitment to excellence and responsibility to its stakeholders are a natural fit with Windsor America and its mission to deliver quality garage doors through an innovative customer experience.”

It is still an autonomously run entity and will retain its current branding, leadership and operating structures. Dave has since retired and his cousin, Sam Sciotto, now leads the company.

“While there will be no meaningful change for customers, employees and vendors, Windsor America allows us to continue on the path of serving our stakeholders at a superior level,” Sam said.

Lodi puts the emphasis on “and more.” Crews install epoxy flooring, and a craftsman creates “beautiful, beautiful doors,” she said.

The company’s reputation and longevity reflect its success. A true family-owned and -operated business, Lodi is embedded into the community

as well.

“We do a lot with the Boys & Girls Clubs,” she said. “Dave is very involved in that. As a company we increased employee awareness of best practices when it comes to ethical practice with our customers which demonstrates the importance of ‘giving back’ to our community’s youth, providing involvement to groups such as the Boys & Girls Clubs of America.”

Personally, we just got involved in Teen Lifeline, an Arizona-based suicide prevention nonprofit and 24/7 crisis peer hotline for teens.”

Strecker explained that she was shocked at the prevalence of teen suicide, so she encouraged co-workers to get involved.

“In conjunction with our community involvement, our priority at Lodi Garage Doors & More is to offer our customers a reliable, fast and convenient service. Our goal is to be more than just the experts in garage door services but also the one-stop shop for all your garage door needs.”

Full-service Cool Blew puts customers first

By Cool Blew

Cool Blew Air Conditioning and Heating started simply in 2002 with Bob Proctor and one other technician.

Since then, the Peoriabased company has grown to 57 employees, adding plumbers in 2005 and solar and electric in 2009.

Cool Blew Inc., as it’s now called, helps customers with plumbing, heating, air conditioning, solar and electrical repairs and installations.

The full-service plumbing division handles residential and commercial plumbing services; sewer and drain cleaning; electric leak and line detection; video camera drain inspection; hot water heater replacement; and

installation and repairs of solar water heaters, tankless heaters and water softeners.

The staff also services reverse osmosis systems and garbage disposals and offers plumbing preventative maintenance agreements.

Like the plumbing division, the HVAC division offers a 100% customer satisfaction guarantee. HVAC technicians work with commercial refrigeration; repairs of all makes and models of walk-in freezers, coolers and refrigeration units; general maintenance repairs; and the installation and repairs of EnergyStar efficient units. The technicians are indoor airquality specialists who clean and seal ducts. Maintenance agreements are available.

All electrical services

are handled by a specialty division. Cool Blew also installs and services solar for residential and commercial buildings.

Cool Blew focuses on private residential and commercial work; however, it is contracted for warranty work with a number of companies.

Cool Blew prides itself on being a family-owned and -operated business. Proctor has 27 years’ experience in the service and repair business. He co-owns the company with Tim Palmer, who has worked with residential and commercial HVAC for 27 years.

Proctor’s wife, office manager and co-owner Sue Proctor, has spent 31 years

making customer service a top priority. She led a call center for one of the country’s largest insurance companies.

Cool Blew is a member of the Better Business Bureau, Arizona Registrar of Contractors, PORA and the Peoria Chamber of Commerce, along with the Heat Pump Council and Electric League of Arizona. It is a certified APS- and SRPcertified contractor.

It accepts checks, Discover, Visa and Mastercard, and does not charge overtime on Sundays.

For more information, call (623) 872-2900 or visit coolblew.com.

Roman’s Oasis is a family-friendly bar with a plethora of entertainment and food. (Roman’s Oasis/Submitted)

Roman’s Oasis Bar and Restaurant, now in the middle of the thriving City of Goodyear, was once in the middle of cotton and corn fields. Self proclaimed ‘Hillbilly’ Roman Comer took over the business in 1986; adding on to the existing 2,800 SF to make what is now 9,000 SF of dining, drinks and dancing.

Roman’s daughter Myra Curtis took over the business in 2015 with the goal of continuing her daddy’s legacy of providing a fun, local community gathering spot. “If you don’t have fun at Roman’s, it’s your own fault”, laughs Curtis. Roman’s Oasis is a destination with entertainment every night of the week. Live Bands, DJs, Karaoke, Event Poker, both Couples and Line Dance Lessons, and Trivia. Menu items include such delicacies as coconut crusted shrimp, calamari, seared Ahi tuna, green chili chicken pasta and ribeye steaks... as well as ‘fried wonderfuls’.

Reservations for dinner or parties can be made throughout the year; including wedding receptions, birthday parties, and company events (623-512-0852).

As the city grows, so must the roadways. Therefore, Yuma Road is slated to be widened in the near future to accommodate current and future growth. A new building will be established near the current location, on the same property, prior to the existing building being torn down. Since Roman had help from his contemporaries with building and decorating the current building; so Myra wishes to continue the theme of a ‘community build’ when taking down current décor and then placing it at the new building. Community members are encouraged to sign up at Roman’s to assist.

The next generation of Roman’s family is firmly entwined in the business, as Myra’s daughter Sarah Curtis, who grew up working for her Papa, is the General Manager at Roman’s.

Roman’s Oasis is located on the SE corner of Cotton Lane and Yuma Road, at 16825 W. Yuma, Goodyear, Az 85338 623-932-0922

Roman’s County Line is your neighborhood bar

By Roman’s County Line

AComer family-owned and -operated bar in the West Valley, Roman’s County Line has been in business since 1988.

Founded by patriarch Roman Comer, a self-proclaimed hillbilly from Alabama, Roman’s County Line is now run by his children, Grand Comer, Myra Curtis and granddaughter Sarah Curtis.

Neighbors call it a casual, neighborhood hangout where the burgers and bar food are “yummy” and the staff and patrons are friendly.

Located just east of 107th Avenue on Indian School Road, Roman’s County Line was once on the county/city line across from Avondale. It’s long since annexed into the city of Phoenix.

Turf Paradise offers off-track betting, seven days a week, starting at 11 a.m. If you enjoy a good game of cards, stop by from 6 to 8 p.m. Mondays and

Tuesdays and 2 to 4 p.m. Saturdays for event poker offered by Charity Events AZ. Karaoke provides an opportunity for budding entertainers to sing their way into the hearts of many.

Pete’s Fish & Chips is all about family

By Pete’s Fish & Chips

Valley landmark Pete’s Fish & Chips is serving its fifth generation of customers. The quirky fast-food empire with the red-and-white sign has eight locations from Tolleson to Mesa.

The late Pete Grant served in the Navy during World War II. While in Australia he noticed how quickly a meal of battered, fried fish and potatoes could be prepared and served. That idea of fast food stuck with him.

Grant opened his first restaurant near Downtown Phoenix in 1947. Daughter and co-owner Kathy Adams likens that shop to a shanty, with a neighbor’s hose for water.

“He had $900 in his pocket when he came out here,” Adams said. “He bought a fryer, fish filets, potatoes and paper plates. At the end of the first day, he had $12 profit.”

A year later, Grant had four restaurants. He served hamburgers, fish and chips and his special sauce.

“My dad’s claim to fame was his secret sauce,” Adams said. “We’re very proud of it. We want our customers to use the special sauce on the fish and chips. It’s made fresh every day, is spicy and not plain like ketchup.”

“We are a small business. It’s just us and our employees,” Adams explained.

Most of the managers are family. If they aren’t, they might as well be. Some have worked for Pete’s since they were teenagers. One manager at Pete’s is a third-generation manager. Adams’ grandchildren are working there.

“The roots run deep. One of the reasons we are so successful is, Pete’s is a family-run business,” Adams said.

Bottega Pizzeria makes food from the heart

By Bottega Pizzeria

Nicola “Nick” DiLello started his career in the bridal industry opening retail stores across the Southwest.

In 2001 he worked at a wedding venue as a general manager in Las Vegas, planning corporate events and designing wedding receptions.

An entrepreneur at heart he purchased a franchise for a national wedding publication in the Arizona market in 2002. For the past 20-plus years, he has produced the second largest and only locally owned and operated bridal planning event in Arizona.

His No. 1 focus is his commitment to exceptional customer service. While his career path has been varied, the pride he shows in everything he does shines through.

Opening Bottega Pizzeria Ristorante in 2016 combined his love for food and hospitality. Born in Milano, Italy, DiLello was inspired by his mother’s talents in

front of the stove.

His plan is to make the guests’ visits memorable. Everything is made from the heart. That’s the key ingredient to success.

Ground Control brings scratch kitchen, craft beer to LP

By Ground Control

Ground Control was founded in 2007 by Sean and Tara Rassas as a coffee roasting shop and wine bar in Goodyear.

In 2012, Ground Control relocated to its current larger location in Litchfield Park, and hired Ian Harwell, a loyal friend and customer, as its beverage manager (“beer guy”).

Harwell became the face of Ground Control and helped develop the establishment as a respected craft beer bar and restaurant. In September 2019, the couple passed the ownership torch to Harwell.

Ian and his wife, Stephanie, are Litchfield Park residents and greatly care for the community in which they

live and work.

During the COVID-19 pandemic shutdown, they offered free kids menu items while schools were closed and donated several meals to first responders, health care professionals and educators as a token of their appreciation. They even hosted a mock graduation for a hard-working staff member who, at the time, was one credit shy of graduating. Their efforts did not go unnoticed and earned them a “Good Business” award grant from FirstBank.

Ground Control operates as a gastropub featuring in-house roasted Fair Trade coffee, a rotating craft beer menu (on draft and to-go) and a scratchmade kitchen menu that includes a half-pound Angus burger, Nashville hot

chicken in three choice levels of spice, vegan options and a wood-fired pizza oven that features housemade pizza dough that is rolled daily.

The award-winning gastropub has been honored for its taproom, hot chicken and breakfast burrito, as well as its coffee, craft beer and breakfast.

Ground Control’s coffee continues to be showcased in several craft beer collaborations with local breweries such as Tombstone and Dark Sky brewing companies. It has also been featured nationally with breweries such as Inu Island Ales in Kaneohe, Hawaii and Toppling Goliath Brewing Company in Decorah, Iowa.

Stop by Ground Control at 4860 N. Litchfield Road, Litchfield Park, or visit groundxcontrol.com.

Hometown Pride

Communities within the West Valley o er ‘extras’ for residents

By Carrie Snider and Taylor O’Connor between Loop 303 and Dysart Road.

The West Valley is made up of more than cities and towns. It is also home to a number of communities and neighborhoods, each with its own distinctive feel and personality.

Because these subdivisions and areas tend to feature different amenities — including parks, swimming pools, walking trails and more — when you are looking for a home in the West Valley is it wise to not only look at the floor plan, but also what the neighborhood has to offer. Here are just a few communities within the West Valley:

GOODYEAR

Estrella is the largest sub-community in Goodyear. It started 25 years ago and has grown to encompass more than 40,000 residents. Why is it so popular? Location is one thing. It’s at the base of the Estrella Mountains, meaning great views. It’s not as close to the freeway as other communities; however, the tucked-away-but-stillclose feeling is a huge draw. There are 72 acres of lakes, schools within the community, pools, parks, trails, plus room to add more homes.

Palm Valley is a 9,500-acre community located north of I-10,

One of its biggest draws is its 36-hole championship golf course. Plus, Palm Valley’s trails and parks make for more outdoor fun.

PebbleCreek is resort living at its finest. This community of about 6,000 active adults has 54 holes of championship golf, along with a variety of fitness centers and restaurants. It’s a pretty tight-knit community of retirees who love the weather and their neighbors.

BUCKEYE

Verrado is a well-established community in the area. Probably one of the things standing out most at Verrado is the variety of home styles here, coupled with its treelined streets. Plus, you can’t miss its walking trails and over 70 parks. It’s built like its own city and even has its own events and concerts. Residents can also use its two pool facilities, golf course and other sports playing areas. Sundance is the perfect spot for those who want quick access to I-10 as well as golf and great views. It is a 2,000acre community located at Watson Road and the freeway near the White Tank Mountains. The Greg Nashdesigned Sundance Golf Club is at its center and is a draw for residents and the public. Besides the golf course,

the Sundance community has a 30acre park that includes playgrounds, walking trails, a dog park, as well as baseball, softball, football/soccer fields and volleyball courts.

Sienna Hills is a newer community located north of I-10 at McDowell and North Verrado Way with views of the White Tank Mountains. Amenities include a pool, splash pad, fitness center and park.

AVONDALE

Garden Lakes is ideal for those who want to be minutes from Downtown Phoenix while in a waterfront community. Located north of Thomas Road between the Agua Fria River and North 107th Avenue, the community has two lakes, along with parks and walking paths. Garden Lakes has over 1,200 homes of various sizes.

Crystal Gardens is a community located on 72 acres of wetlands. It’s north of I-10 near McDowell and 107th Avenue and includes 905 homes. This community has it all: lake views, walking paths, fishing, bird watching and bike lanes.

GLENDALE

Westgate is part of Central Glendale, near Glendale’s historic downtown.

Wickenburg offers horses, hats, history, hospitality

By Wickenburg

Since 1863, the people of Wickenburg have chosen this community not just as a place to live but also as a way of life.

Known as the Dude Ranch and Team Roping Capitals of the World, cowboy life is unmistakable. Western hospitality is no catchpenny phrase here. As befits this truly welcoming town, the Western hospitality is a charming part of the town’s personality, as genuine and as real as the surrounding hills.

For those hungry for historic sites, history flows through Wickenburg.

Located inside the restored 1895

A.T.S.F. Railroad Depot, the visitor center is the starting point of a selfguided walking tour. Tour brochures provide aid as visitors mosey past historic buildings and sites.

About 11 miles outside of Wickenburg is the Vulture City Ghost Town, home of the mine of Wickenburg’s founding father, Henry Wickenburg.

Wickenburg owes its perfect setting to Mother Nature. There are trails lined with wildflowers and cactuses to hike or to ride horseback, and even Jeep trails to experience natural trails and historic places.

There are many roping arenas to compete or watch team roping; ride a mountain bike, golf, stay at a guest ranch, or simply sit and wait for the sunset. There are also many annual events that keep the community busy, such as Wickenburg’s

signature event, Gold Rush Days, which showcases the towns origins of ranching and mining the

Disconnect from the grid and reconnect with each other. Wickenburg is a town where visitors are warmly welcomed, whether the stay is an hour, a month or a season. It doesn’t matter where a person is from or who they are — the important thing is that they’re here. The historic West waits to be explored.

WICKENBURG visitwickenburg.com

Made up of historic ranch-style and new urban-style homes, this area has been rapidly growing, thanks to major sports venues.

Arrowhead Ranch is one of the West Valley’s most sought after neighborhoods, with million-dollar homes and easy access to the 101. The area is built on acres of orange groves near a shopping center, country club and multiple golf courses, giving any resident plenty to do.

PEORIA

Located in northern Peoria, Vistancia is a family-friendly neighborhood with low crime rates as well as top-rated public schools with great after-school and enrichment

programs for children. There are plenty of new home options, and many new businesses found their home in this area.

Peoria Town Center is the original part of the city. This area has Peoria’s older, more-affordable homes. The majority of these homes were built in

the 1970s and ’80s.

There are so many communities within the different West Valley cities, it’s worthwhile to drive around and take a look. Each has its own unique aesthetic, and each offers different amenities to make living in the communities a lifestyle choice.

Benevilla helps keep seniors independent at home

By Benevilla

Older adults facing the challenges of aging may share the often-heart wish, “I want to stay in my own home!”

The good news is, with the right help, they may be able to do just that. The nonprofit Benevilla, which has served the West Valley for over 40 years, knows what it takes to help age in place. Simply put, its mission is to keep seniors independent in their homes as long as possible.

The not-for-profit senior and family services agency was founded in 1981 as Sun Cities Area Interfaith Services Inc. by citizens of the Sun Cities area and the Ministerial Association. They were concerned about the lack of services available to the community’s older residents. Their mission was to promote health and independence by providing supportive services to their neighbors.

From humble beginnings as a group of 30 volunteers helping with errands and home care services and a handful of employees, Sun Cities Area Interfaith Services Inc. grew into Benevilla, a vibrant network of Life Enrichment Day Programs;

comprehensive care-management programs; free support groups; free home services; and a yearlong calendar of educational events, workshops and trainings across the Northwest Valley.

It’s supported by more than 200 volunteers and 100-plus employees — all seeking to help keep senior citizens and families independent in their own homes.

Benevilla provides a full range of support services for older adults including:

• Four Life Enrichment Day Programs providing care for older adults with Alzheimer’s and dementia, survivors of stroke, Parkinson’s disease adults with physical and intellectual disabilities, and fall-related injuries located in Surprise, Sun City and Peoria.

• The new Benefitness Adaptive Gym located on its main campus, providing specialized individual and group fitness programs for adults with

differing abilities to help them reach their strength and wellness goals.

• Free home services for seniors and homebound adults supported by generous volunteers who run errands, provide grocery shopping, assisted transportation services to medical appointments, basic handyman services, business assistance and friendly visitor and phone check-ins.

• Caregiver support through Benevilla C.A.R.E.S. (Community Assistance, Resources, Education and Support) resource specialists.

• Free caregiver support groups.

• A yearlong calendar of free educational workshops and events.

• A variety of volunteer opportunities providing support and care for your neighbors.

For more information about services, volunteer opportunities, to take a tour or donate to Benevilla, call (623) 584-4999 or visit benevilla.org.

Locals invited to discover Litchfield Park

By the city of Litchfi eld Park

Litchfield Park is a unique community boasting smalltown charm with undeniable style.

The city of Litchfield Park was incorporated in 1987; however, it traces its lineage back more than 100

years. The founder, Paul W. Litchfield, began growing cotton in this area of the Salt River Valley in 1917. He settled the area with vast farms, roads, canals and technology. Litchfield envisioned a new type of sustainable community in which people could live, work and play.

Litchfield Park continues to

develop along Litchfield’s original concepts into a beautiful familyoriented city encompassing 3.3 square miles. It is a proud Tree City USA green community with thousands of public trees, miles of winding pathways, over 35 acres of

Landscape Watering by the Numbers

Welcome to the West Valley!

Desert landscapes can be low-maintenance and vibrant – you just need the right tools! Water – Use It Wisely is a partnership of many water providers from across the Valley and Tucson. is collaboration provides residents, business owners, and property managers with tools and resources to better understand how to water landscapes, select and maintain plants and irrigation systems, set irrigation controllers, and nd leaks, along with links to local water providers.

In parts of the U.S. that receive signi cant rain throughout the year, watering may mean running the sprinklers or hose for a few minutes during a dry spell. In the West Valley where annual rainfall is o en less than

eight inches per year, our landscapes might need additional irrigation for plants to remain healthy and provide beautiful foliage and blooms.

Watering deeply, yet infrequently allows irrigation water to soak deeper into the soil, where it is less e ected by our arid climate. Healthy tree and plant roots will grow deeper into soil, where it is cooler and has more consistent soil moisture, allowing plants to be more resilient during the high heat. is might also create a stronger root base to help avoid uprooting during strong monsoon winds.

Di erent plant types require di erent soil moisture depths: approximately one foot for grass, two feet for shrubs, and three feet

or more for trees. Check your soil moisture depth with a soil moisture probe or with a long screwdriver. If the probe stops before you reach optimal depth, you might not be watering deeply enough. If the probe goes beyond optimal depth, you might be overwatering. Once you know your soil moisture depth and your plants depth needs, you can adjust your irrigation controller for proper runtimes and frequency. Water – Use It Wisely’s free online guide Landscape Watering by the Numbers can help shed light on the mystery of proper irrigation in the Desert Southwest.

Entertainment & Family Fun

Glendale is building Arizona’s sports and entertainment hub

By Lori German

Glendale has positioned itself as a true sports and entertainment hub in Arizona and the western United States. With over a billion dollars of world-class experiential retail under construction in the Sports and Entertainment District, Glendale has been a force in the West Valley for nearly 20 years.

Beginning in 2003, Desert Diamond Arena opened in the middle of farming elds surrounded by endless opportunities for growth. Since then, the city’s growth is unprecedented. e arena’s success was followed by the build-out of the Arizona Cardinals’ State Farm Stadium in 2006. A short

two years later, Camelback RanchGlendale opened its doors as the Spring Training facility for the LA Dodgers and the Chicago White Sox.

As Glendale prepares to host its third Super Bowl in 2023, the Sports & Entertainment District has seen a tremendous amount of development. Single and multifamily housing is on the rise around this vibrant area with 8,289 single and multifamily housing units currently under construction within a 2-mile radius of the area.

In 2018, Go Daddy founder Bob Parsons purchased Westgate and kicked o a wave of experiential entertainment additions to the area, attracting people of all ages.

at same year, Topgolf opened

its doors, bringing over 500 jobs to Glendale. eir success was followed by Lumberjaxes, Carousel Arcade and the most recently announced and currently under construction Popstroke, Chicken & Pickle and Andretti Indoor Karting.

Constantly expanding the horizons of growth, VAI Resort plans to nish construction and open to the public in late 2023, becoming the largest resort in Arizona with nearly 1,200 rooms and a $40 million 360-degree rotating stage featuring live entertainment.

is one-of-a-kind development also includes a 52,000-square-foot party island, Aerobar and over 12 restaurant concepts.

To the south of VAI Resort will be the rst Mattel Adventure Park in the country, featuring beloved brands such as Hot Wheels, Barbie, Masters of the Universe, UNO and omas the Tank Engine.

For over 20 years Glendale has worked tirelessly to build its reputation as an unrivaled sports and entertainment mecca in the country. By fostering growth, working with worldrenowned sports and entertainment developers and being a true partner in their success, the future is bright as over a half-billion dollars of additional investment is planned to be under development in the coming year.

Faith A Deep History of Faith

Worship centers have long tenure in the West Valley

By Carrie Snider

From the time the West Valley was a collection of small towns until now, with its growing population and thriving cities, it has always been home to a number of churches. Starting as long as a century ago, local residents have been behind the inspiration, design and construction of many houses of worship.

Paul W. Litch eld, CEO of the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company and founder of the city of Litch eld Park, helped build two iconic houses of worship in the city many years ago.

ST. THOMAS AQUINAS

First, Litch eld worked with local couple Frank and Sara Serrano, who were celebrating Catholic Mass in their home. Together, they found the original property at Neolin Avenue and Wigwam Boulevard, where they hoped to build a church.

Architect R.D. Johnson designed its structure, and the cornerstone was laid on St. omas Aquinas on Nov. 2, 1919. Members and dignitaries celebrated the original building’s 100-year history.

Father Bryan Buenger is the pastor of the church at 13720 W. omas Road, Avondale. Info: stacc.net. Call: (623) 935-2151.

THE CHURCH AT LITCHFIELD PARK

Next, Litchfield set his sights

on helping Methodist members, including John and Mabel Padgett, who had been meeting in a cook shack for many years. They formally organized their nondenominational church, the Church at Litchfield Park, and in the 1930s asked Litchfield to help them secure a site and a structure. But it was the Great Depression, and finances were tight.

At the time, e Wigwam, which opened as a place of refuge for Goodyear Tire executives visiting out of town but is now a public resort, lacked a bar. Litch eld was opposed to this idea, but he agreed if he could build the church.

A er piecing together design ideas from a casino in Mexico and the early mission in Santa Barbara, the new church was designed and ground was broken on Sept. 10, 1939, at 300 N. Old Litch eld Road. e 80-year-old building served as a beacon to many.

e Revs. Lynne Kammeraad and Adam Roe now helm the church at 300 N. Old Litch eld Road, Litch eld Park. Info: churchatlitch eldpark. org. Call: (623) 935-3411.

FIRST SOUTHERN BAPTIST CHURCH, BUCKEYE

In the 1930s, members of the First Southern Baptist Church met in a building on Fourth Street that also once housed the town jail. In need

of their own meetinghouse, church women gathered lava stones from the Hassayampa River area and brought them to ird Street and Eason Avenue. is is where the “Old Rock Church” was built and became a central meeting spot before being replaced.

e senior pastor is Rick Wiles, who preaches at 405 N. ird Street. Info: fsbbuckeye.com. Call: (623) 386-5614.
